How harsh is the surface? How many tyres can we expect to go through?

So you all think it's crap then yeah? .. I must admit to be more than a little shocked that I'd stood next to this amazing venue just meters away from Donington Park.
I must make it clear that we didn't find the place. We were invited to test it by Glen, and seeing massive potential in the venue Drift Central was born. We provide one third of the drifting opertunities at this venue. There is also a Junior Drift Experience for kids to have a bash at drifting, and EDC will be using it for dedicated EDC licensed driver training, and Licensing days ..

Webby, the surface is absolutely superb even tarmac. Tyre wear was very good on the test days despite serious serious smoke, and lot's of speed of course

Ah yeh, I know that place. Hadn't even thought about it for a space for drifting! Well it is a long time since I've been there.
